Are you sure? Extension

Are you sure?
=============

Are you sure? is a simple extension to help you stay productive on the internet. Distracting sites can be fun, but it's too easy to just visit them without thinking. You can be in the middle of some important work and, before you know it, your fingers have betrayed you and you're looking at cat gifs again.

This extension just pops up a simple dialog box asking \"Are you sure?\" when you visit a distracting site. It doesn't try to stop you, just helps you be aware of what you're doing so you can make a fully informed decision. It will ask at most once every 5 minutes by default.

The site list is configurable, so you can add whichever sites are most distracting to you. The extension uses Chrome's event filtering API, so it should use no extra memory or CPU except when you're loading one of the sites on the list.

The source is available at https://github.com/sgentle/areyousure - feel free to post issues or suggestions there.

Changes in 3.0
--------------

* Background opacity is now configurable
* Keyboard support/accessibility

Ceasar Palache (ID: 0000003a03254471) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 05/11/2023 Would be great if it worked. I tried setting the cooldown to 0. I tried entering every possible combination site prefix (www, web, etc) that might get used. It only worked once (and not the first time, like it was cooling down).

Remus Gabriel (ID: 000000287b630b46) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 02/22/2023 not working. I really wish this would work, but it's quite sporadic in its functionality. It simply does not show up when it should

Amanda McNeal (ID: 00000073d8932882) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/08/2022 Works perfectly for my needs! I have ADHD and I am also trying to stop falling down "doom" holes on places like Reddit, yet I still need to go to these sites sometimes for my job/to find actual information. I didn't want a babysitter, I just wanted a reminder to help with my impulsivity. I haven't had any issues with the extension not working, so maybe disregard the older reviews that mention that? Thank you so much to the developer for making this!

Idan Koren-Israeli (ID: 00000085cb2a4233) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 12/11/2020 Great idea and UX, but unfortunately it is not consistent at all.
